For people looking for what Zarb actually is:
> From killing the goat to cooking the yoghurt, mansaf takes several hours to make. So if guests are in a hurry, the alternative is zarb: a dish of vegetables and meat, like lamb, slow-cooked in an underground pit that is the Bedouin answer to barbecue. Although zarb can be left for two or three hours, it can also be ready in a third of the time, and it doesn’t need to be watched – making it a faster, and more convenient, alternative.
- stephengillie 8y agoThis sounds like cooking a pig in a pit, from Hawaiian culture. But pig takes 8 hours - what makes the lamb cook quicker here? http://moveto-hawaii.com/cook-pig-hawaiian-luau-style/ http://moveto-hawaii.com/cook-pig-hawaiian-luau-style/
- dalore 8y agoOther cultures have similar things, I'm familiar with the Papua New Guinean mumu https://www.tokpisin.info/mumu-papua-new-guinea/ https://www.tokpisin.info/mumu-papua-new-guinea/ Note in that guide it says it may take up to 12 hours depending on the size of the pig. So to answer your question a lamb cooks a lot quicker because it's a lot smaller (and probably broken up into parts). And I guess PNG pigs are bigger then Hawaiian pigs too reading that yours take 8 hours.
